What makes me tick...
Anything that can be taken asunder, examined and made to work again,
even more so if that means in ways that nobody ever thought up before.
What
Richard Stallman stands for, and what
Linus Torvalds created. This is why I started
MiLUG, joined
IFSO, organise a stand for
Software Freedom Day,
Polite and genuine people!
What makes me sick...
FUD (esp. about "Intellectual Property", a very abused phrase) and other deception.

1,080,000 Amazing!! Well, there you have it... there's lies, damned lies and statistics.
Rude and arrogant people!
What I do...
As
much as possible of what makes me tick, as little as possible of
what makes me sick, whatever I need to do in a given situation, and
check out as much
Cool stuff as possible
when time is my own. I might consider writing a book to cover the
rest... but only when I retire and get bored. That doesn't look
like happening any time soon!
What I want to do...
Learn
new stuff... unleash an analytical mind onto the next unfortunate
problem(s) to get in my way. So far, this list includes (in
chronological order)!... escape hatches on baby restraints, clocks,
lego, chess, computers and programming, and Russian grammar. I'll
settle for any close cousins of
Cool Stuff!
Being human means having opinions...
Only
"Yes men" don't have opinions, but they're not real people to begin
with, they're actors! I've a
few of my own, which you don't have to agree with if you know better.
